ਐਥੈ ਤੂੰਹੈ ਆਗੈ ਆਪੇ ॥ ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ੍ਰ ਸਭਿ ਤੇਰੇ ਥਾਪੇ ॥ ਤੁਧੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ਕਰਤੇ ਮੈ ਧਰ ਓਟ ਤੁਮਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ॥੧॥

ਮਾਝ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ Mājẖ mėhlā 5. Aithai ṯūʼnhai āgai āpe.   Jī▫a janṯar sabẖ ṯere thāpe.   Ŧuḏẖ bin avar na ko▫ī karṯe mai ḏẖar ot ṯumārī jī▫o. ||1||

 

Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Maajh. O Almighty, (too-nhai) You alone are the Master (aithai) here and (aagai = ahead) in the hereafter also (aapai) Yourself; (sabh-i) all (jeea jant) creatures are (thaapey = installed) assigned roles in life (teyrey = your) by You.

(Mai) I look for (tumaaree) Your (dhar) support and (ott) protection; there is (na koee = not any) none (avar-u) else (binu) except (tudh-u) You to look to.

 

ਰਸਨਾ ਜਪਿ ਜਪਿ ਜੀਵੈ ਸੁਆਮੀ ॥ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਹੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸੋ ਜਨਮੁ ਨ ਜੂਐ ਹਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ॥੨॥

Rasnā jap jap jīvai su▫āmī.   Pārbarahm parabẖ anṯarjāmī.   Jin sevi▫ā ṯin hī sukẖ pā▫i▫ā so janam na jū▫ai hārī jī▫o. ||2||

 

One (jeevai) lives peacefully (jap-i jap-i) by remembering/obeying You (suaami) the Master; o (paarbrahm) Supreme (prabhu) Master and (antarjaamee) knower of minds.

(Tin hee) only that person (paaiaa) gets (sukh-u) peace (jin-i) who (seyviaa = serves) obeys Naam/Divine commands; (so = that) person does not (haaree = lose) waste (janamu) human birth in directionless pursuits like (jooai) in gambling. 2.

ਨਾਮੁ ਅਵਖਧੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਜਨ ਤੇਰੈ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਜਨਮ ਜਨਮ ਕਾ ਰੋਗੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਗਾਵਹੁ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਸਫਲ ਏਹਾ ਹੈ ਕਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ॥੩॥

Nām avkẖaḏẖ jin jan ṯerai pā▫i▫ā.   Janam janam kā rog gavā▫i▫ā.   Har kīrṯan gāvhu ḏin rāṯī safal ehā hai kārī jī▫o. ||3||

 

(Teyrai) Your (jan) seeker (jin-i) who (paaiaa) gets (avkhadh-u) the medicine of obedience of Naam from the guru; s/he (gavaaiaa = loses) is freed of (rog-u = disease) the wrongdoings accumulated in (janam janam) life after life, i.e. in previous births.

O dear, (gaavah-u = sing) praise/emulate (har-i) Divine (keertanu = praise) virtues (din-u) day and (raatee) night, i.e. all the time; (eyha) this (kaaree) practice is (saphal) fruitful in finding the Almighty. 3.

 

ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਧਾਰਿ ਅਪਨਾ ਦਾਸੁ ਸਵਾਰਿਆ ॥ ਘਟ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਨਮਸਕਾਰਿਆ ॥ ਇਕਸੁ ਵਿਣੁ ਹੋਰੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਨਾਹੀ ਬਾਬਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹ ਮਤਿ ਸਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ॥੪॥੩੯॥੪੬॥

Ḏarisat ḏẖār apnā ḏās savāri▫ā.   Gẖat gẖat anṯar pārbarahm namaskāri▫ā.   Ikas viṇ hor ḏūjā nāhī bābā Nānak ih maṯ sārī jī▫o. ||4||39||46||

 

The Almighty (dhaar-i) bestows (dristt-i = sight) grace and (savaariaa) transforms (apna = own) IT’s (daas-u = servant) devotee who sees the Almighty present (antar-i) in (ghatt ghatt) everyone and (namaskaariaa = pays obeisance) shows respect.

There is none (dooja = second) other (vin-u) except (ikas-u) the One Almighty anywhere; this is (saaree) the sublime (mat-i) understanding, o (baaba) dear, says the fifth Guru. 4. 39. 46.
